Sony LTX400GLB LTO Ultrium 3 Data Cartridge LTO Ultrium LTO-3

Product Description

The Sony LTX400GLB is a high-density data storage medium based on the LTO Ultrium 3 (LTO-3) technology. This tape cartridge is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of enterprise data backup and archiving, offering a substantial storage capacity that is crucial for managing growing data volumes. With a native capacity of 400GB, it can store significant amounts of data without compression. When used with compatible tape drives that support compression, the LTX400GLB can achieve a compressed capacity of up to 800GB, significantly reducing the cost per gigabyte and the number of tapes required for backups. LTO Ultrium 3 technology represents a significant step forward in tape storage, offering improved performance and reliability over previous generations. The LTX400GLB cartridge is designed for durability, ensuring that data can be reliably stored and retrieved over extended periods, making it suitable for long-term archiving purposes. Its compatibility extends to LTO-3 tape drives, and it maintains backward read compatibility with LTO-2 drives, providing a degree of flexibility for organizations transitioning between generations of LTO technology. Each Sony LTX400GLB cartridge is typically equipped with a bar code label, which is essential for automated library systems. This bar code allows for quick and accurate identification, tracking, and management of tapes within a robotic tape library, streamlining backup and restore operations. The robust design and high capacity make this tape cartridge a cost-effective and reliable solution for enterprise data protection strategies, ensuring business continuity and compliance with data retention policies.
